CALCITE CORPSE

Disgraced former prosecutor and reinvented rock shop owner Allie Renault is still learning how to navigate the fascinating world of rocks, gems, and minerals.

A ten-day partnership with one of her late Uncle jasper’s old friends at one of Tucson’s best mineral shows seems like a fantastic opportunity, that is until she meets her partner, Cash. He’s annoying. Opinionated. Obstinate.

Things go from bad to worse when they discover a woman’s body in a crate of calcite shipped to them from Mexico. Cash advises Allie to mind her own business and let the police do their job. The problem? This case is a low priority. Is it because the woman appears to be an illegal immigrant?

Far from friends and allies in Sedona, unsure of whom she can trust, Allie can’t leave it alone and investigates, risking everything to find the woman’s killer.

"Fast paced and engaging! Can't put it down! Allie always seems to find herself in these predicaments. Will she figure it out? I've enjoyed all three of S.D. BROWN's books in this series so far. Can't wait until the next one!" – JORJU
